At the risk of sounding OLD, I can't believe no one mentioned Queen City Kids or Harlequin. No I am not really Canadian but I do live near the border and had the pleasure of seeing both of these great bands. I also love Brighton Rock, Kick Axe, Honeymoon Suite, Haywire, Headpins, Aldo Nova, Sword, Saints & Sinners(produced by Aldo Nova not sure if they are a true Canadian band), Fist(not sure if they are Canadian either but places claim they are). What other obscure bands should I know about? Thanks Jenni T
